The story of the film is adapted from the Old Testament: The Philistines declare war on the Israelites and wrench the Arch of the Allience from them.

But still David has to fight the enemy in form of their mighty giant Goliath. English dubbed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054788/

Copied from Wikipedia: Adaptation [ edit ] In bringing Macbeth to the screen, Welles made several changes to Shakespeare's original. He added sequences involving the witches to increase their significance. At the beginning of the film, they create a clay figurine of Macbeth, which is used to symbolize his rise and ruin. [12] It collapses in a heap, seemingly of its own volition, immediately after Macbeth is beheaded. The witches seem to cast a spell on the doll, and anything that happens...

Production clips and outtakes from the Orson Welles masterpiece that wasn't. Three authorized versions of "Mr Arkadin" are on DVD. If you decide to rent or buy one of them, be sure it is the so-called "Comprehensive Version" with a run time of 106 minutes. It is a facinating failure in which Welles tried to repeat the "Citizen Kane" formula, but centered it on a fictional and much less interesting character than Kane.
